This cosy one-bedroom second-floor apartment offers a straightforward, affordable entry into the property market. Set in a 1980s purpose-built block with secure intercom access, the home includes a refitted shower room, a practical kitchen with pantry cupboards and useful built-in storage — useful for a first-time buyer or a downsizer seeking low-maintenance living.
Practical details work in its favour: a long lease (about 155 years remaining), mains gas central heating, communal off-street parking and strong mobile and ultrafast broadband availability. The property has secondary (triple) glazing for improved noise reduction and a communal setting that can suit those wanting simple, compact accommodation.
Buyers should note the running costs and local context. Service charges are currently around £1,920–£2,160 per year (£180/month reported) and the block will require typical communal upkeep over time. The surrounding area is recorded as deprived with higher-than-average local crime rates, and parts of the neighbourhood show social and economic challenges — factors to weigh for families or long-term owners.
Overall this apartment is aimed at first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with long lease security and good connectivity. It will suit someone prioritising value, convenience and manageable upkeep, though those seeking quiet streets or a low-crime neighbourhood may wish to view the area before committing.
